  “Built in VPN” Yeah how about no. I’ll stick with mullvad + waterfox

    I read a while ago that they busted some hacker kid who used a secure VPN, because they leaked some Windows installation ID or whatever.

      You mean telemetry? They didn’t leak anything. They just chose to use their personal fucking windows machine for said hack.

    Edge VPN: Instead of Patricia from marketing, your traffic will be analyzed by Sam from security.

  For me, “earn rewards” is really important.

  I doomscroll on 3 different platforms, I view xxx-sites, I check the weather, I buy a shower mat.

  I should be rewarded!

  (What is the reward exactly?)

    You say that, but they let you link it to work account! I have so far gotten £40 of vouchers just casually doing nothing special.

    Edge does work a lot better in MS 365 environment and it’s work… so i can live with it.

  Aw, don’t be shy…

  Cortana just wants to get to know you!

  We swear she hasn’t been locked in an airgapped cluster underneath Kirkland for about a decade now!

  Pinky Promise!

    Cortana would have gotten more love if they made her a big booby desktop pet.

    source

    • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      TBH she wouldn’t have even needed big booba.

      Just… even just an animated face mesh.

      Like really, they fumbled that whole concept so hard… a competent marketing department could made Cortana in basically the professional version of Hatsune Miku.

  I definitely trust Microsoft as a VPN provider.

  Still so weird to me that from all their products they have killed over the years the Rewards are still “living”.

• Tiral@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  All their reasons or “benefits” are used to track you and sell your info lol.

  I knew a bigoted idiot who spouted Bing Rewards as a reason to use Edge, and you were stupid to not use it, since you got paid to browse and were getting free stuff.

  Didn’t know or care that he was the product.

  Anything Microsoft recommends works in the opposite way, you should not trust. Same as opposite day!

  There’s a legit use for Edge: if I have to test out how a website looks on Chromium, I don’t need to install Chrome, yay.

  For everything else, there’s Firefox though.

  • Sgn@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Your websites dont look the same in both?

    source

    • chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Edge uses the same rendering engine as Chrome. Web devs need to check to make sure different browsers respond to CSS, JavaScript, HTML, etc. the same way, as they all don’t necessarily do so, even though they should.

      source
    • umbraroze@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Well that’s the neat part, they do, so I rarely need to test them!

  chrome checks all those boxes too.
